• Error Free: 3.6 defective parts per million
• Efficient work layout & minimal waste
• Low inventory, no buffer stock
Yes, but HOW was it doing it?

Spread of TQM• 1980s

o Crosby: Quality is Free

Example: Xerox
• Japanese had entered the US market and were selling cheaper copiers
• Xerox lost its market share, down from 90% to 15%
• Mr. David Kearns became CEO of Xerox in 1982
• He adopted TQM– No inventory– No Inspectors– Managers as support
• It took 7 years for Xerox to get back its market share

Surveys of TQM Implementation
• Rhetoric not reality – WIRS 5% (Cully et al, 1998)
• Work intensification & enhanced controls
• Companies deemed ‘excellent’ later failed
• Evidence of resistance (e.g. Hawthorne)– Output restriction (Homans, 1959)– Acting-out– Informal resistance– Cross-cultural barriers

TQM….empowerment or exploitation?
• Garrahan, P. and Stewart, P. (1992) The Nissan Enigma: Flexibility at Work in a Local Economy, London: Mansell
• Teamwork = surveillance & peer pressure
• Flexibility = exploitation
and intensification
• Quality = rhetoric & hype

Weaknesses
• Not a miracle cure: 66% dissatisfied with TQM (Korukonda, A.P., Watson, J.G., and Rajkumar, T.M., ``Beyond Teams and Empowerment: A Counterpoint to Two Common Precepts in TQM''. S.A.M. Advanced Management Journal. Vol. 64 No. 1 (1999)).
• Takes a long time: 1 – 2 years to change mindset
• Things get worse before they get better (Estes, P. ``Northwood Research Raises Disturbing Questions about Employee Empowerment in Florida Businesses''. Northwood University Employee Empowerment Study, Fall (1997). http://www.seflin.org)
• Requires good labour relations (Boone, L.E. and Kurtz, D. Contemporary Marketing. Texas: The Dryden Press, 1998)

Old wine, new bottle?
• Concerned with control
• Focus on intensification
• Scant evidence of real implementation
• Fits with modern rhetoric– Flexibility– Innovation– Creativity
